The Senior Security Researcher will drive vulnerability discovery and analysis within Rapid7’s Vulnerability Intelligence team. You’ll research zero-day and n-day threats, develop exploits, publish root cause analyses, and collaborate across teams to provide defenders with actionable insights.
Rapid7’s Vulnerability Intelligence team leads industry research to uncover and prioritize risks for organizations worldwide. Our researchers discover and disclose zero-day vulnerabilities, analyze n-day threats, develop Metasploit modules, and identify patterns in emerging attack surfaces. Beyond driving coordinated responses to major incidents, the team provides actionable insights that help defenders stay ahead of evolving threats—proactively shaping understanding of today’s risks and tomorrow’s attack vectors.
Work with the broader Vulnerability Intelligence team to support day-to-day research operations, including coordinated vulnerability disclosures and rapid responses to major security incidents (Note: there is no on-call requirement for this role).
Perform and publish root cause analyses of high-priority vulnerabilities and potential threats that highlight Rapid7’s attacker-focused approach to vulnerability intelligence.
We believe strongly that defenders benefit from having democratic access to offensive security capabilities in order to understand attacks and test their controls
Conduct zero-day vulnerability research against popular enterprise technologies (e.g., network appliances, VPN gateways, CI/CD servers, file transfer and backup solutions, etc).
Advise our security and threat detection engineers as they develop vulnerability checks, fingerprints, and detections; contextualize risk and explain attack patterns to cross-team technical stakeholders.
Experience producing vulnerability root cause analyses (or other technical writing on vulnerabilities and exploits).
Prior experience reverse engineering at least one common enterprise software development language (e.g. Java, .NET, C/C++) is also a plus.
Familiarity with common security research tooling (e.g., An instinct for where and how to obtain or emulate vulnerable software. We can’t perform hands-on analysis without targets - sometimes we have lab targets, sometimes there are AMIs available, and sometimes we have to get creative.
Deep empathy for the challenges that security teams and global organizations face in today's threat climate; At Rapid7, our vision is to create a secure digital world for our customers, our industry, and our communities. We’re building a dynamic and collaborative workplace where new ideas are welcome.
If you ’re ready to solve some of the toughest challenges in cybersecurity, we’re ready to help you take command of your career.
